Petrus 1990

Château Pétrus 1990 is a masterpiece that showcases the heights of winemaking excellence. This wine displays a deep, rich ruby color that hints at its intensity and concentration. The nose is a symphony of aromas, with ripe black fruits, such as blackberry and plum, mingling with hints of cedar, tobacco, and truffle. On the palate, it offers an extraordinary experience, with velvety tannins and a full-bodied structure that envelops the mouth in a luxurious embrace. The flavors are beautifully integrated, revealing layers of black cherries, cassis, and dark chocolate, complemented by nuances of leather and spice. The finish is incredibly long and satisfying, leaving a lasting impression of opulence and finesse. Château Pétrus 1990 is a true icon of Bordeaux, representing the epitome of elegance, power, and sophistication. It is a wine that will continue to evolve and enchant for many years to come.

The 1990 Petrus remains incredibly young, one of the least evolved wines of the vintage (along with Montrose and Beausejour-Duffau). This dense ruby/purple-colored effort is beginning to hint at the massive richness and full-bodied intensity lurking beneath its wall of tannin. The vintage’s sweetness, low acidity, and velvety tannins are present in abundance, and the wine is massive in the mouth as well as incredibly pure and well-delineated. I thought it would be drinkable by now, but it appears another 5-10 years will pass before it begins to reach its plateau of maturity. This wine is capable of lasting at least four more decades. An incredible achievement! Release price: ($5000.00/case)"

"The 1990 Petrus is a great Pomerol, albeit one that has levelled off in terms of quality during its evolution, so that there is now a clear gap between itself and the 1989. This bottle has that same gorgeous raspberry and mulberry nose, sensual and warm, the eucalyptus component a little more noticeable vis-a-vis previous bottles. The palate is smooth and sensual, fatter than the 1989 if not quite as well defined. It boasts unerring purity and great consistency, a Rubenesque Petrus that is a joy to behold. Tasted at the Petrus dinner at Hide restaurant in London and at Epure restaurant in Hong Kong."
